TAO presents programs are held regularly in more than 60 facilities throughout Hampton Roads – nursing homes, hospitals, family homeless shelters, dependent care day programs, crisis programs, assisted living facilities and more. These programs:
- Have the potential to help reduce staff turnover & attract quality staff
- Help staff connect culturally with patients, families and other staff members from diverse cultures
- Specific arts activities can ensure that people leave a legacy, and create a lasting expression
- While the arts cannot cure, they can help heal
- The programs also provide artists with stipends for their work, feedback and program support, a creative challenge and new audiences and participants for their work.
